A program of shoulder rehab exercises should be mandatory for a quick and effective return to a supple and pain free condition of the shoulder joint. The usual protocol for a rotator cuff ailment is the prescription of anti inflammatories, with the dreaded prospect of surgery in the most severe cases. Most of the times surgery is avoidable, and in case of recovery from it due to accident or trauma, a shoulder rehab exercise program will greatly cut down on recovery times and expensive drugs.

A

torn cuff can also benefit from these exercises, as well as all major rotator cuff conditions that arise spontaneously in thousands of people every day. These can be an Impingement Syndrome, a Bursitis, a Tendonitis, or a Frozen Shoulder and so on. When a tear or post surgery are involved, rest is first needed before proceeding to shoulder rehab exercises. This is to prevent the rotator cuff tendons from becoming more inflamed or detached, and only passive rehabilitation by a professional thera

pist is allowed.

A passive exercise is when the specialist moves the arm so that the patient cannot exert the rotator cuff. When the cuff is strong enough, then an active program of specific exercises can be started with very light resistance. These exercises have nothing to do with shoulder presses or similar gym routines for the Deltoid or Trapezius big muscles, as they involve specific movements for the rotator cuff only. The rotator cuff 4 muscles and tendons keep the humeral head of the a

rm into the Glenoid socket in all movements and range of motions, thus providing stability and preventing dislocation.

For Impingement, Bursitis, Tendonitis and Frozen Shoulder (in a thawing phase), shoulder rehab exercises can actively start right away without a passive phase first. A proper routine will help to cut down on recovery times from many months or even few years to few weeks only. This is because the shoulder joint is so complex that when something goes wrong, it usually takes a long time to recover naturally.
